Sooty: The Movie in the pipeline Ben Dowell 4:48 PM, 20 June 2014 Britain's favourite yellow glove puppet bear Sooty is bracing himself for his big screen debut, RadioTimes.com can reveal. The character, who returned to our TV screens last September after an eight-year hiatus, is in the frame for a movie being organised by his new puppeteer – and rights-owner – Richard Cadell. Cadell is working on a big screen adventure for the lovable bear and his canine friend Sweep in which they seek to rescue their panda friend Soo. “She has been kidnapped by an evil showbiz impresario who will pull every trick in the book to turn her into a global superstar and Sooty and Sweep need her back,” explains Cadell, who was handed control of the puppet in 1998 from Matthew Corbett, the son of Sooty's creator, Harry Corbett.

“The film will be peppered with spectacular locations, countless celebrity cameos and buckets of slapstick – without detracting from the charm of the nation’s favourite teddy bear, Sooty and his dim-witted best friend Sweep.” A spokeswoman for the production said that it was still in the early days and could not reveal further details. Sooty has already returned to Children’s ITV, with two series of The Sooty Show starring Cadell scheduled to be screened continuously over the next five years. A third series is in development, producers have confirmed. The new series has seen crucial modern touches incorporated. Soo, the traditionally normally shy and retiring panda in the original series, is no longer depicted with a pinny and a duster and does not attend to the housework needs of her two "male" friends. Sooty's essentially naughty but sweet character has remained and he continues to be mute to the audience, communicating only by whispering into the ear of his human companion. He has also kept his xylophone, water pistol, wand and the catchphrase "Izzy wizzy, let's get busy".

Cadell won the blessing of Matthew Corbett, whose father, Harry, bought the puppet for his son from a stall on a holiday in Blackpool in 1948. The original bear was given soot marks on his face to make him show up better on black and white televisions when he made his small-screen debut in 1952 on the BBC's Talent Night. After that, Sooty and Sweep became regulars on children's show Saturday Special from 1952 to 1955, and were later revived by ITV. After ITV decommissioned Sooty and Sweep in 2005, Cadell bought the rights from licensees HiT for a sum reputed to be in the region of £1m and finally won a commission for new episodes which aired last year. The movie idea follows the current vogue for bringing back nostalgic children’s favourites with revivals of The Wombles, Teletubbies, Thunderbirds and Danger Mouse all on the way. Turner is also planning a reboot of The Powerpuff Girls and a big screen version of Paddington Bear’s adventures will be released in November. Like this? Share it. Izzy! Wizzy!

It’s not just Town Hall that has sock puppets | Inside Croydon Izzy! Wizzy! It’s not just Town Hall that has sock puppets Posted on July 6, 2014 by insidecroydon We gave our arts correspondent BELLA BARTOCK a second class rail ticket to Tunbridge Wells to see The Sooty Show before it arrives at the Fairfield Halls next month Children’s entertainment built around scatological remarks, gratuitous violence and spraying the audience with liquids seems particularly English. “Izzy! Wizzy! Let’s get busy!” as a catchphrase certainly sums up just how much boundless energy Richard Cadell, the owner of the Sooty franchise, throws into this show. This is a performance with its traditions firmly based in Edwardian end-of-the-pier shows – Harry Corbett, Sooty’s originator, bought the original glove puppet from a shop along the Blackpool prom in the early 1950s. Anyone who watched any of the original Sooty television shows on the BBC will now be drawing their state old-age pensions, and it is more than 20 years since the programme last had a regular tea time slot on one of the terrestrial channels.

But the formula from Britain’s longest running children’s TV programme has altered little. On stage, The Sooty Show is your – or your under-eights’ – personal invitation to Sooty’s birthday party. At just 90 minutes long (including the interval) the performance is well-suited for its younger audience. With much energy to expend the short show suited its adult audience in Tunbridge Wells, too. At the Tunbridge Wells Assembly Halls, it seemed the adults were even keener than the children to be involved in the very participative event, jumping up frequently and with enthusiasm to perform nursery tunes and exercise “Head, shoulders, knees and toes”, when prompted. Cadell and his team get an amazingly expressive performance out of the hand puppets such that you believe in their interaction with Cadell and his jousting remarks like “you haven’t got the legs for it”. Sooty is renowned for his water pistol and if you want a soaking, do book the front row seats, though Cadell runs around the audience with enthusiasm tooled up with the liquid dispenser so that few miss out on a drenching.

Sweep just loves sausages and is cool on his saxophone and in performing Lady Gaga’s Poker Face, demonstrating how efforts have been made to bring the whole thing up to date. Soo seems a little bit vain in all her different dresses and you have to wonder whether three’s a crowd for Sooty and Sweep when Soo’s around. The puppets’ endless wait for the never arriving Mr Slater suggests that there has been some absurdist influence Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. And the entertainment does not end on stage. Cadell continues to give to his audience after the show, as he and Sooty pose for pictures with admiring children. And adults. Sooty gets an iPod, a laptop and gender equality | Television & radio | The Guardian Sooty gets an iPod, a laptop and gender equality New 26-part series will give the 60-year-old character and his friends Soo and Sweep a modern makeover Sooty and friends will grapple with modern technology in the new series.

Photograph: Lashbrook TV Friday 8 July 2011 15.03 EDT First published on Friday 8 July 2011 15.03 EDT Close This article is 5 years old Izzy wizzy, let's get politically correct. Britain's favourite yellow glove puppet bear Sooty is back, but this time he will be armed with a laudable sense of gender equality as well as modern accoutrements such as an iPod and a laptop. A new 26-part series of Sooty is being filmed for ITV for broadcast at the end of this year and some modern tweaks have been introduced to update the 60-year-old character. Sooty's close friend Soo, a normally shy and retiring panda – who has traditionally been depicted with a pinny and a duster – will no longer attend to the housework and domestic needs of Sooty and his friend Sweep, a dog characterised by a high-pitched squeak.

Instead, she spends her hours surfing and playing Frisbee with her male friends and is at the heart of the action, which now takes place on a holiday camp with new puppeteer Richard Cadell taking the role as the caretaker. "She is in many ways a modern Soo," said Cadell, who was handed control of the puppet in 1998 from Matthew, the son of Sooty's creator, Harry Corbett. "She will be at the heart of the action and doing things a lot more than she has before." Jamila Metran, the programme manager for CiTV, which will air the series, added: "Soo is not doing the housework any more and she's not the Mumsy character taking care of the two boys – they have a much more equal role. The look is much more modern and while we love the old Sooty, the experience will be a modern one, which we think children will relate to more and find fun." Sooty's essentially naughty but sweet character remains and he continues to be mute to the audience, communicating only by whispering into the ear of his operator.

He will keep his xylophone, water pistol, wand and the catchphrase "Izzy wizzy, let's get busy". But he too has been given a subtle modern makeover in the new series, which will air on CiTV this autumn with a repeat on ITV at weekends next year. Most of the scenes will take place outside, and Sooty now has a range of hobbies including working out, football, high diving and go-kart racing. All three of the main characters will have laptops and iPods and play computer games. Cadell has the blessing of Matthew Corbett, whose father, Harry, bought the puppet for his son from a stall on a holiday in Blackpool in 1948. "Richard is as close to a Corbett as you can get, and if my father saw this now he would be tickled pink," said Matthew, who was given control of Sooty in the mid 1970s by his father. The original bear was given soot marks on his face to make him show up better on black and white televisions when he made his small-screen debut on the BBC in 1952 on the BBC's Talent Night.

After that, Sooty and Sweep became regulars on the BBC children's show Saturday Special from 1952 to 1955. After ITV decommissioned the series in 2005, Cadell bought the rights from HiT for a sum reputed to be in the region of £1m and finally won a commission for new episodes to be filmed by ITV. "The key to Sooty is simplicity, and we're not going to try and complicate it with over-production and special effects," he said. "He's a puppet and there's a great tradition there, but you can still do so much with him. "If I hadn't bought him, the old fellow would have been consigned to history, and that would have been terrible." The Sooty Show.org - VHS / DVD - Home In the early 1980s, the Sooty Show changed noticably - the show moved from being "sketch-based" to being based around the Sooteries cottage, Matthew Corbett grew a beard, and Brenda Longman replaced Marjorie Corbett as the voice of Soo.

But there were other changes happening in the entertainment world as well, as home video was emerging, with many video companies rushing to release some of the most popular films and TV shows of the day in order to capitalise on this growing market. The Sooty Show was no exception - starting with The Adventures of Sooty, everyone's favourite magical bear enjoyed consistent sales on VHS (and even the early Betamax format!) throughout the 1980s and right into the early 2000's before DVD took over. (See further down this page for a list of Sooty DVD releases!) Below is a list of what we believe to be every official VHS release of The Sooty Show, Sooty & Co., Learn With Sooty, and other miscellaneous releases. Every effort has been made to make this list as exhaustive as possible, but if you have an official VHS release featuring Sooty that's not listed below, please send us an e-mail as we would love to add details of it to this guide!

2008 19.01 EDT First published on Thursday 26 June 2008 19.01 EDT Share on Messenger Close Sooty, the silent puppet bear with a penchant for magic tricks and water pistols, has been sold to his presenter, who plans to bring the children's TV character back in a new series.

Richard Cadell, who has presented the TV show featuring the much loved children's character for 10 years, has teamed up with his brother to buy the rights to Sooty and his friends Sweep, the squeaking grey dog, and Soo the panda. The deal is believed to be worth almost £1m. The characters were put up for sale in October by Bridgefilms, a joint venture backed by Hit Entertainment, which also owns Bob the Builder and bought the rights to Sooty from the previous presenter, Matthew Corbett, in 1996. Sooty has featured on British TV since the 1950s, first appearing on the BBC under the watch of Harry Corbett, who had bought the puppet on Blackpool pier to amuse his son Matthew. The show moved to ITV in 1968 and Matthew later succeeded as presenter. Sooty, a mischievous yellow bear with black ears, would never speak except into the ear of his presenter and performed magic tricks to the catchphrase "Izzy wizzy, let's get busy".

He would get into scrapes with Sweep, who spoke only in squeaks, the sensible Soo, and, in more recent series, his schoolboy cousin Scampi. Matthew Corbett backed Cadell's buyout. "I am delighted that Sooty is in, or should I say on, the right hands. Richard Cadell is as close to a Corbett as you can get and we are very confident that he will give Sooty the love and attention that he deserves."
